Nitta Okiya addition there are several other occupants of the aunt who took care of the household, Pumpkin, a little girl the same age Chiyo together in training to become a geisha, and the inhabitants of the beautiful Hatsumomo again, the only geisha in the okiya that many produce yen for Nitta Okiya. Hatsumomo is one of the most beautiful geisha in the Gion district.
Okiya Chiyo in attendance, apparently did not make Hatsumomo happy, he saw great potential in yourself frighten Chiyo is unrivaled. Chiyo has a grayish-blue eyes that make her unusual compared to other Japanese girls, and of course Chiyo also has a beautiful face so that if trained from childhood, Chiyo could grow into a famous geisha and much in demand, it is feared by him. For this reason, Chiyo mistreatment. In many ways Hatsumomo trying to Chiyo no training to become a geisha.

When Chiyo is crying fate disebuah bridge, he was approached by a man named Ken Iwamura, who bought candy, then give him the money wrapped in a handkerchief. Chiyo is very happy, suddenly growing desire to become a geisha in hopes someday he can see again the man who bought her candy.
Several years later, Chiyo Mameha attention - the most successful geisha in the Gion district and geisha who gets the highest bid to take her virginity. Mameha is the enemy bebuyut Hatsumomo. That is one reason Mameha educate Chiyo to become a geisha. Mameha explains why a geisha Hatsumomo less successful when she was very beautiful and talented.

Mameha and admits he is so successful geisha materially because he is backed by funding from the strong financially and politically.
Finally Mameha lifted Chiyo as she guided his successor would be a successful geisha, Hatsumomo while lifting Pumpkins as his successor. Hatsumomo forbid to speak with Chiyo pumpkins because pumpkins regarded as competitors. Pumpkins Chiyo friendly relations and finally disconnected.
Over time, Mameha form Chiyo into a beautiful geisha, personality, good at singing, dancing and playing music. And Chiyo-also got a new name is Sayuri.

The success of a geisha Sayuri became very famous, influential in the decision to adopt the Nitta Okiya Pumpkins, and eventually he canceled adopts Sayuri Pumpkins and choose as heir to rename Okiya Chiyo into Sayuri Nitta. The reason for choosing Sayuri Sayuri would be a gold mine and become heirs in the future. The decision made by the competition between Sayuri and the tapered Pumpkins.
Several years passed, Sayuri is becoming more popular and become a geisha who has a lot of customers that would come from the big businessmen and high officials were able to give a great reward for his services. Populeritas Hatsumomo while getting dimmer and one reason Sayuri and Hatsumomo Mameha cut steps that are not popular anymore, as a result Hatsumomo was expelled from Okiya than is not making a profit for the Nitta Okiya, also involved perkelahihan with Sayuri burn the most Okiya.

Second world war broke out, all the people of Japan-sex male compulsory military service and are not required to follow the war to work in factories to meet the needs of Japanese soldiers who are fighting. Geisha in Gion-complex was closed, the women were sent to the factories to work, Fate Mameha and Sayuri better, they can help from the chairman and sent to a textile factory where conditions are not too heavy to be carried by Sayuri and Mameha. Over at the textile factory Sayuri toil in the hot sun that would damage the skin and body care Due to malnutrition. But Sayuri aware of the situation and he had to be patient and live in the small village for survival.
Perangpun finally over, with the defeat of Japan after Auto bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan began to calm conditions, even in very poor condition. Gion district reopened, and Nobu was the data back to meet Sayuri, and asked for his help and the chairman to entertain his business relationship because of Nobu and the chairman are starting their businesses that were destroyed in the war. And Nobu also expressed his feelings and his ability to be a financial backer Sayuri. Sayuri mixed feelings between happy and disappointed, because he hoped the ketualah which will give the offer.

After the embarrassing incident passed, Sayuri felt empty, but he was still conscious life must go on and he too was free from Nobu. One day there was an offer to guests menghidur disebuah "Tea Hause", he himself did not know who the person who requested his services. Go Sayuri place of the banquet, it turns out there is no chairman "Iwamura Ken".

And of course the chairman sayuri loves. The chairman offered to be the financial backer for Sayuri, and the ketuapun pay dearly for Sayuri Nitta Okiya to free and belong to him and not be a geisha again.
Sayuri eventually became mistress of the chairman, the chairman accompany Sayuri in a Villa which purchased the master, and comfort him from year to year, but not bored because Sayuri think that's his destiny to be with the president, first and last love man.
